Summertime is terrific for grilling and we have an abundance of summer squash. Perfect! It's easy to grill squash and you can season them to your taste. I love Italian seasonings so that is my go-to.
My recipe calls for thyme, oregano, marjoram and salt and pepper. Sometimes I add orange zest to give it a little different flavor. Pair this dish with grilled chicken or pork and add a side salad for a delicious meal.
Besides it's awesome flavor squash is good for you. It is high in fiber, which helps keep your cholesterol levels low, and potassium which you need for your heart. And it's low in calories so grill some today.
